Hi My webhost advises against creating a remotely connectable database. They say it's slower and less secure. I can access it as if it were on my own lan via JDBC and openoffice base and others can access it via my php scripts to input the data wia Internet. What I was looking for is to be able to use an ooo text document to import the fields and print out decent looking copies without having to dump the database, download it and install it on my own mysql server.
Can anyone explain the security risks in connecting to a remote db from ooo? Exactly what am I risking by saving so much time? Cheers, Steve. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
